BIBLICAL RESPONSE

Your "Reefer madness" editorial asked, "Should Americans be allowed to
smoke marijuana to ease their pain?" Since this is a biblical issue, I'd
like to give a biblical response. Ending cannabis prohibition, persecution
and extermination is biblically correct. Our unwavering God said He created
all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good on the very first
page of the Bible.

The Bible is against cannabis prohibition. For example: 1 John 3:17, "But
whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his
heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?"

Obedient Christians would like to see clergy speak up on this issue since
Jesus Christ risked going to jail to heal the sick.
